HID Global, a secure identity solutions player, has pinpointed several developments that it believes will have the greatest impact during this year on identity and access management, citizen identification and the Internet of Things.
“We’re watching several developing trends in the new year, including growing demand for a more mobile-centric and satisfying user experience that HID Global believes will be the primary driver for security technology innovation in 2016,” said Stefan Widing, HID Global President and CEO. “Customers will increasingly aspire to a comprehensive secure identity experience for their users that can provide the foundation for more flexible, adaptable solutions in a new era of interconnected digital identities and the Internet of Things.”
For 2016, HID sees a more secure lifestyle will be built around mobile devices. Identities will still be authenticated with computer and network logons, but also biometrics, driver's licences, wearables and RFID tags, in an easier to use way. Besides authenticating personal identities, devices, services and applications will also be secured.
The industry will sharpen its focus on not only what to deploy, but how, looking for ways to more holistically address both facility and information security. While the focus has been on preventing breaches, the industry will also adopt best practices for controlling what happens afterwards, so that stolen identities are useless to thieves.
